Latest Update

July 6, 2016

Boosters,

Although we all contributed to Carmen's Time Trial win at Nationals, she was not selected to the Olympic Team.

Carmen has made the decision to challenge (arbitrate) USA Cycling's selection. She estimates this will cost 25-50% of her annual salary. Over 1/2 the $25K has been raised. If you have more to give, that's great. If not, please send positive vibes Carmen's way as she fights for her right to race in Rio.

I'm Jenny Wampler - also known on social media and in women's cycling as @girojenny

My passion is to support women's cycling.

I'm active on social media and in person whenever I have spare time. Whether live tweeting at events, announcing races, performing course marshal or other race duties, as long as I'm supporting these amazing athletes, I'm doing it.

My husband (Terry) and I took it upon ourselves to sponsor a UCI Team based in Salt Lake City called Visit Dallas DNA Pro Cycling. We do this under our business Three 9 Consulting. We hope that with enough sponsorship, the team will be able to reach a goal of racing at least one event in Europe. We also want to make sure they have the means in place to focus on racing domestically and not worrying about travel, food, taking time off their 2nd job, etc.

Last year, we provided 2 scholarships for US riders to race the Team Time Trial at the 2015 Worlds Championship held in Richmond, Virginia. It was important for us to remove barriers that were preventing these riders from reaching their athletic goal to race at the highest level possible.

Women's Cycling is not a lucrative sport. These women are professional athletes making just enough to pay bills, train, and race. Many have to take on 2nd jobs to make ends meet. Their teams do what they can, but they are also getting just enough sponsorship money to race their schedules.

Due to my involvement with women's cycling, I'm often asked for ideas on how to raise funds for certain events and to reach goals and dreams.

Unfortunately, I can't sponsor everyone... but by organizing a RallyMe site, I can provide a platform to raise money for women's cycling and get it to specific athletes that are in need. I plan to be very specific about the athletes, event, and budgets. I appreciate your support and so do all the women cyclists!

My Team

1st up was Carmen Small - also known on social media as @smallsunday. Here she is at 2015 UCI Worlds with me and Terry (right), her coach Corey Hart (left) and friend Paul (far left). Thanks to great booster support here on RallyMe and elsewhere, we've raised money to help Carmen a few steps closer to her dream of racing in the 2016 Olympics Time Trial.

Next up is ?

While I review requests, please check out another pro cyclist that could use a boost. Lauren De Crescenzo rides for Visit Dallas DNA Pro Cycling. She was in a horrible crash a few weeks ago and although she has medical insurance, it won't cover all her expenses as she continues to recover.

Although we all contributed to Carmen's Time Trial win at Nationals, she was not selected to the Olympic Team.

Carmen has made the decision to challenge (arbitrate) USA Cycling's selection. She estimates this will cost 25-50% of her annual salary. Over 1/2 the $25K has been raised. If you have more to give, that's great. If not, please send positive vibes Carmen's way as she fights for her right to race in Rio.

If you haven't heard the news, Carmen won the US National Time Trial this morning! She'll be wearing the Stars & Stripes in every time trial she races from today thru May2017. This also puts her much closer to an Olympic Bid - the US Team will be named on June 24th. With this win and her outstanding results all Spring in Europe, the odds are looking very good. I'll send an update once we know for sure.

No matter your donation, you are all a part of Carmen's win! You showed your support months ago as she was needing a little nudge to help with expenses - she immediately felt your support and was able to concentrate on this victory rather than pulling funds together.

Thank you so much!

Thank you Boosters! With your support over the last week, Carmen is that much closer to realizing her dream of racing in Rio at the 2016 Olympics! Carmen had a fantastic week in Spain at the #Bira stage race. She was on the podium a few times and also held the yellow jersey for a stage. She finished overall in 5th place! Detailed results here.

By request of Carmen and her coach Corey, we've updated the RallyMe page and will start collecting funds for other women cyclists. She will receive your donations ($985) shortly and is very grateful.

We appreciate your support of women's cycling! Stay tuned for the next athlete that needs a boost.
